Answer 1

Answer:

(a)3520

Step-by-step explanation:

"for sale at 110% of its actual cost"

100% of original cost=4000

110% of original cost=4000+10%×4000=4400

now if it was sold at discount of 20%= 4400-20%×4400=3520

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question of profit, loss and discount. In this question we have to find out seling price of the carpet after giving discount on the market price.

According to the question

The original price of carpet = 4000

the carpet was offered for sale at 110%  of its actual cost, which is 4000.

The selling price is 4000 × 110/100 = 4400 Rs.

later the carpet was sold at a discount of 20%.

We know that discount is given on market price only.

If we substract discount amount from market price, we get new selling price

4400 - ( 4400 × 20/100)

4400 - 880

3520 Rs.

The answer is 3520 Rs.
